 Hi,

 Sami has good point on IRC... do we really want to continue with the
 current versioning schema? Now we use:

    v2.xx[.y]

 I don't expect v3 or v4, so the prefix v2 does not provide any
 information... and the 'xx' ('30' now) is already large number. 

 Suggestions:

 1) do nothing; nobody cares and v2.31 looks good

 2) remove '2' from the version:

        major release:  v31
        update release: v31.1


 3) <your suggestion>?
 

 Note that for v2.30 is to late to do any change in version numbers
 (we need changes in our libraries and I have to update some my scripts).

    Karel
